Allen & Heath Qu-7

Allen & Heath Qu-7 - Digital console 96 kHz with 33 motorized faders and 7" touch screen"

The Allen & Heath Qu-7 redefines the Qu series standards with processing power and audio quality never seen in this range. Thanks to his heart FPGA XCVI in 96 kHz, inherited from SQ, Avantis and dLive professional systems, it accesses treatment DEEP Processing, so far reserved for high-end consoles. This technology makes it possible to apply studio effects without latency directly on the channels, guaranteeing a accurate and reactive mix. With 38 mixable inputs, 33 motorised faders, 6 effects engines, a modernized tactile interface and extended connectivity, the Qu-7 adapts to all situations: live, theatre, fixed installation, broadcast or conference.

Faithful to intuitive ergonomics that made the success of the Qu range, the Qu-7 benefits from a redesigned interface with 4 layers of customizable faders, individual slice displays and lED chromatic levels configurable. The preamped and aD/DA 96 kHz converters provide an audio return of exceptional fidelity, while intelligent assistants such as the Gain Assistant and Feedback Assistant allow save valuable time configuration. The Qu-7 also includes a automatic Microphone Mixer (AMM) 32 channels, very useful in spoken environments or multi-stakeholder situations. Everything is designed to work fast and well, with a clear and responsive workflow.

The connectivity is one of the strengths of the Qu-7. Thanks to his smart SLink port 128x128, it can be connected to any ecosystem Everything I/O allen & Heath for a total modularity. For recording and audio playback, the console offers a uSB-C interface 32x32, 1 multitrack recorder via SD card (16x16 @96 kHz, 32x32 @48 kHz) and a stereo recording/reading function on USB-A. The qu-MixPad, Qu-You and Qu-Control applications, available on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, allow intuitive remote control, both for engineers and musicians who want to manage their returns. A console reliable, flexible and powerful, at the crossroads of modern expectations.
